Mad Max
The collapse of the world economy is popularly attributed to deregulation of derivatives, but the breakdown of modern states has more to do with the unsustainable nature of societies built on systematic theft. At some point, people get tired of being deprived of a decent life, and the system no longer works.
Financial panic, religious hysteria, corruption and criminality are symptoms of a system that is in its death throes. From here on out, there is no cyclic recession, depression, recovery scenario; it’s Mad Max time.
The US is responsible for 75% of the world’s toxic waste. America accounts for 5% of the global population. Do the numbers on the sustainability of that equation.
